My dh is "mad" at you all *Updated With Pic

[RusticOkie]

Okay so he's not really serious, but...

 

I read the posts earlier about the Bernat 4 on sale for .99 at Michaels. Well I had been buying some at 1.49 so of course I had to go check it out on my lunch break because I was afraid to wait until after work because I knew it would all be gone. There was quite a bit gone already but $49.00 later I'm back at work!

 

Dh's response..."No more Crochetville for you" I'm sure he was only joking right? lol

 

Luckily he's great about my crochet and as long as I keep it put away he could care less. I'll post a picture later of everything I got b/c I have to go to the next town over later (for a legitimate reason) and of course I just might need to stop at their Michaels while I'm there!

 

Okay here is the picture of what I bought earlier. There is

2 Soft Taupe 5 Periwinkle Blue

2 Natural 5 Seascape Ombre

3 Dark Oxford 6 Black

3 Pink Rose 11 Deep Forest Green

4 Geranium

4 Teal

[EMedley]

[RusticOkie]

Tell him I caught the sale and needed two carts to get my bags out to the car. I would've bought more too if I'd realized prior to checkout that some was really 99 cents, but was shelf marked higher. *sniffle*

Man I am moving. Whenever I go to my Michaels, the sales shelves are empty.

Great find guys and tell hubby you could be spending it on something that he can't benifit from.

Same here. I can never find sale yarn at Micheal. Well maybe once in a long while, but it's usually something I don't want (like fancy fur).

My hubby also blames Crochetville for my yarn habit. We are all so bad.

[pvtflukd]

:jumpyayWay to go! After I bought several skeins of that at Michael's, I visited AC Moore and bought lots more of Bernat Haven & Misala at 2/$1. Those haven't made it in the house yet.

I envy all of you all I have here is WM and the Dollar Tree.

[segi1974]

ok I made it to Michaels today and I bought 8 soft forest green, 6 burnt orange, 3 butterscotch and 3 teal ( for my favorite color swap partner). I may have to go to the other Michael's tomorrow and see what they have.

[teapot]

I know what to do. Tell your hubby it is for your poor new found friend in Canada, who is no where near a michaels store!!!!!!

I have never been to a A C Moore store or BenFranklin or any of the other stores you have down there in the states.

YOu all are so lucky in the states to have so many craft stores to pick from!!!

$49, that's not so bad! Tell your husband that it could've been worse--I went to Michaels on Monday (well, the whole neighborhood had a blackout while I was in the store, we were ushered out, and told to come back later...so I ended up going back Tuesday morning) and bought nearly $80 worth of that clearance yarn!

 

I got a sweaters' worth (7 skeins) each of yellow, red, blue, and light purple. (Sorry, I don't have it in front of me to give the exact color names). I also stocked up on tons of white because I really hate the grey-looking white of Simply Soft these days, plus tons of skeins of the other colors.

 

I felt SO bad, but at the same time, so good that I got such good deals! I haven't told my husband yet... He wants to buy himself a $1200 laptop so I figure, what's $70-some-odd?

[wgjret]

Went to my Michael's and left with 8-10 skeins of off white, lt. brown, dk. brown, pink, blue, gray, wine, black,,,,I just love the 99 cent price! I don't have an AC Moore and our Dollar Tree only has fun fur.

[craziebunny]

He can be mad at me.. I think you got some really pretty colors!!

[Peggy85225]

Nope don't worry I'm over here in Texas so I won't rob you of yours! Sorry to anyone in Midland/Odessa though!

Thank you, I found one Michael's where it was .99 cents and bought 15 skeins. Went to another Michael's just a few miles away and still $1.49 so I just bought two skeins of the color I needed. Thanks for the tip and for not poaching my Arizona Michael's!

[Vickietoria]

Hehe, I'll have to go tomorrow, and my dh might be mad at you lol. Thanks for sharing! What a stash!

You can show hubby this is a nice yarn for an excellent price, not a frivolous yarn for a ridiculous price.

 

Anyway, there are ways around husband upsets. When I was first married to my second hubby, he was grumbling about me buying a sewing machine. I already knew how to sew and the machine was actually modestly priced, but he didn't stop complaining. I decided to nip this in the bud by making something for him before making my planned projects.

 

I remembered he'd said he always wanted to have a flannel nightshirt, so I made one. I found a pattern with long sleeves, button cuffs and a chest pocket. It was no harder to make than a nightgown, and when I gave it to him, he was stunned! He didn't know what to say. He just kept asking over and over "You made this for ME?"

 

That was the end of the complaining about the sewing machine.

There is still a bit of that Berella yarn for $.99 at the Michaels in Knoxville. I got 8 skeins of pink and purple.

[mellybelly]

Great score!! There's a Michael's in the town where I work, which is about 30 miles away - also a JoAnn's. I guess because I make the drive all week, I detest going on a weekend. Should've checked Michael's after work this week. RARELY do I get there before everything is gone, though.

Pet all that pretty yarn for me

[crochetstepmom]

Yeah, yeah, yeah...my DH tells me that all of the time. I just tell him "No more Home Depot for you!" His tune changes quite quickly after that!

 

Great find. I may have to check that out!:cheer:cheer:cheer

[ZoeZoesmom]

I did the same thing, bought 47 bucks worth. Since I am feeling bad for myself because I have to work today I will probably stop at Michaels for more yarn therapy on the way home. It's hard to pass up 99 cent yarn.

[kel]

LOL!!! As I am sitting here reading this very post, my DH walks up behind me and teases "ooooh, you're on THERE again" followed by a big fake *sigh*.

Too funny.

[RusticOkie]

lol I'm so glad I was able to tempt so many of you ladies into making a run to Michaels. That way I'm not alone!

 

I knew you all would understand and that's why I had to share with you all. No one else gets it. Since we're packing for the move I was trying to box it all up and I made the comment to dh that I didn't know I had so much yarn. His response? "I knew". Ha ha very funny sweetheart. He did say he expected to see a lot of afghans if we're gonna have to keep this much yarn around. yeah right.
